A hike with my husband of ten years; Along the trail we walked, hand in hand, gazing up at the trees, listening to the streams, breathing in the smell of the woods; So grateful to be alive; to have eyes that see; and a heart that feels; and love to share with one who’s real. ~ […]

Gratitude. Years ago I created a handmade journal made of paper, and in it I left examples of what I was grateful for beginning with the letter ‘A’ and ending with the letter ‘Z’.

Wow! I thought 2014 went by in a blink, and it did. 2015 has come in with a vengeance, the flu! Spending an entire week in bed…I’m just shaking my head at this…and grateful that I don’t have pneumonia, I do have a wonderful husband who’s cared for me, and an incredible doctor. I believe […]

Isn’t it interesting to note the link between Gratitude and Love… they are intertwined, Love begets Love, which […]
